Comprised of written themes with spaces for improvisation and other tunes that are totally improvised, this is an album that sits well in both straight-ahead and contemporary jazz.\u003cp\u003e\\r\u003cbr\u003e\\r\u003cbr\u003e'My aim with this recording was to trust the unknown and playing together with an open mind and open ears. Except for 'Eternity' all tunes on this album are first takes. You never know when magic happens when making music, but there are plenty of moments from this recording session that, to me, were quite magical and that were unique in the way everything came together in the moment.' - FREDERIK VILLMOW, October 2022\u003cbr\u003e\\r\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\\r\u003cbr\u003eFREDERIK VILLMOW - drums\u003cbr\u003e\\r\u003cbr\u003eOLGA KONKOVA - piano\u003cbr\u003e\\r\u003cbr\u003eERLEND VANGEN KONGTORP - tenor \u0026amp; alto saxophones\u003cbr\u003e\\r\u003cbr\u003eGISLE JOHANSEN - tenor \u0026amp; soprano saxophones\u003cbr\u003e\\r\u003cbr\u003eULIAN HAUGLAND BJORA - double bass\u003cbr\u003e\\r\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\\r\u003cbr\u003eRecorded July 22 \u0026amp; September 28, 2022 at Musikkloftet Asker, Norway\u003cbr\u003e\\r\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\\r\u003cbr\u003eA well-travelled musician, concert tours have taken FREDERIK VILLMOW across the globe.

He is definitely in the center of the performances throughout, but his drumming is certainly not just a showoff of his abilities, but the driving force of the ensemble'.
